Metalworking and plant-installation industry collective agreement

Notes

Ipotesi di accordo signed 22 Nov 2025 (Federmeccanica, Assistal, Fim-CISL, Fiom-CGIL, Uilm-UIL), approved by certified worker ballot 18-20 Feb 2026 (CCNL 2025-2028). Minimums rise every 1 June: 2025 (already paid under the old IPCA mechanism), 2026, 2027, 2028 (C3: +27.70/+53.17/+59.58/+64.87 = 205.32). The June-2026 tranche was confirmed by the parties' IPCA verification minutes of June/July 2026 (ISTAT IPCA-NEI 2025 = 1.9%); amounts applied as already set (Assolombarda note). Future tranches (2027, 2028) are as signed but the agreement keeps an IPCA guarantee clause, so they could be revised upward after the annual verification. Monthly minimum excludes seniority increments (scatti biennali), elemento perequativo (annual amount paid where there is no second-level bargaining) and the flexible-benefit welfare (250 EUR/yr from 2026). 13 monthly payments (tredicesima). Weekly hours 40. Level mapping D1..A1 = old categories 1..8 (2021 classification reform). Source: joint union summary (signatory unions) hosted by Uilm national; cross-checked: increments + previous minimum = new minimum for every level. Italy has no legal erga-omnes extension of private-sector CCNLs: legally binding on members of the signatory associations and on employers that apply it by reference in the individual contract. In practice it is the reference for 'fair pay' under art. 36 of the Constitution in court and for the INPS minimum contribution base (L. 389/1989 art. 1).
